On Friday night, Sassuolo and Salernitana go head-to-head at the Stadio Citta del Tricolore in a game that could be vital at the bottom of Serie A.
Sassuolo
The home team suffered a 2-1 defeat at Torino last time out in Serie A, which means that Alessio Dionisi's side is now winless in their previous six matches.
The game ended a low-scoring run of games for the Neroverdi, as their last five games had produced under 2.5 goals.
Sassuolo’s recent underwhelming form has left them in 15th place in the Italian top-flight table, just three points clear of the relegation zone, having taken 11 points from as many matches in Serie A this season.
Sassuolo have a poor recent home record in the Italian top flight, as they have won just two of their last nine matches at the Stadio Citta del Tricolore.
That run includes failing to win on home soil in their previous three league games.
Salernitana
The Granata are rock bottom of the Serie A table, having picked up just four points from their 11 league games this season.
A 2-0 home defeat by reigning champions Napoli last time out means that Filippo Inzaghi’s team has lost five of their previous seven matches in the league.
Unsurprisingly, Salernitana has encountered problems at both ends of the pitch, considering their league position in the Serie A table.
They have conceded at least two goals in four of their last five league matches while failing to score in five of their previous six games.
Salernitana are unbeaten in their previous 14 matches in the Italian top-flight, having suffered four straight home defeats in Serie A.
The lack of goals has been the main issue on their league travels, as they are in the midst of a four-game away draught.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Sassuolo will record a victory in a low-scoring encounter to move further clear of the league's bottom three.
